The only appealing thing about it is the sharing downloaded videos part. Other than that, the data saving is not as useful as it is touted to be. In the regular YouTube app you choose the video resolution when saving videos for offline. That’s all the data savings I need.

Frankly I haven’t tried the app but that’s because I don’t see the need for it. I don’t need the sharing part because most of what I watch on YouTube is niche content that few other people would watch. Also I saw that it is optimized for less powerful phones and data savings (read fugly user experience) hence my aversion towards it.
